"Half a year ago, the news of smallpox came out in Xiazhou, and people's hearts began to fluctuate everywhere. He also wanted to make a comeback, but the leader of the caravan he followed didn't want to attack the city and seize the territory, but only wanted to rob the passing merchants to make money."
I don't know whether to say that Ergo is too ambitious, or that the horse thief is too low-minded, anyway, the two have different ways.
The head of the horse thief didn't like Ergo, and wanted to squeeze out the second head, and the second head was even more ruthless, directly wanting to replace the big head, so he quietly recruited people.
It's a pity that the third leader is absolutely loyal to the first leader, and most of the bandits in the cottage are also willing to switch to Ergo because the first leader is generous to them.
"He guessed that the chances of winning were not great, and he knew that Jin Kui'an had a lot of people here, so he sent someone to deliver a letter to him, asking Jin Kui'an to help him, and then he was willing to give him the treasure of Ba Zhuo. become."
"Then they came?" Bai Shan glanced at them and asked, "Then why are they staring at us?"
Little General Meng stared at him and asked, "You don't know? Their people confessed that the treasures they hid in the coffins were stolen, and the governor of Liangzhou took the treasures and used them as military funds. No matter how powerful they are, they can't They snatched things from the army, but I heard that apart from Governor Duan, there was a group of people at that time, because they also participated in the suppression of bandits, and it was the treasure they found, so they divided a lot of gold, silver and jewelry."
Little General Meng stared at Bai Shan and said word by word: "I heard that those people are you."
Bai Shan: "... Oh, it's a treasure placed in a coffin."
He said calmly: "It's just some gold and silver, we don't see it well, where did these rumors come from?"
Hearing his answer like this, Little General Meng was taken aback, "You guys have no points?"
Bai Shan frowned slightly, "They said I broke up?"
He obviously didn't deny it, but Little General Meng subconsciously thought that he had no points, so he frowned slightly, "Could it be that the Liangzhou Army planted you?"
Bai Shan said sternly: "Cishi Duan is not that kind of person, could it be that the people below are spreading rumors? Or..."
Bai Shan turned his head to look at Erge who was in a daze, squinted his eyes and said, "Or he was tricked by someone?"
Little General Meng looked at Bai Shan in a wrong way, and he said with sympathy: "If this is the case, you are really unlucky, and you are no worse than that Jin Kuian."
Bai Shan: ... Thank you for the invitation, they are not unlucky at all.
Erg, whose hands and feet were bound, also heard these words, and shook his head in disbelief.
Jin Kuian, who just woke up and just heard this conversation, was blinded. If Bai Shan and the others didn't take gold, silver and jewelry, then what are they going all this way for
As soon as there was any movement from Jin Kuian, everyone looked over. Little General Meng felt the pain from the knife wound on his waist and abdomen. He covered his stomach and said to Nie Canjun, "Be careful with him, this man is very fierce."
Of course Nie Canjun knew, after all, he couldn't beat the opponent.
Fortunately, he was tied very strong, and Fei had the most ropes, from his shoulders to his heels, so he could only roll on the sand at most.
Jin Kuian struggled for a while, and found that the rope would tighten even if he moved, so he lay on the ground and refused to move.
Nie Canjun stepped forward to poke him and asked, "What do you have to say?"
Jin Kuian glanced at these remnant soldiers, and said with a sneer, "It's too early to be complacent, and it's not certain who will die first."
Nie Canjun snorted angrily, "You're all fish now."
Jin Kui'an sneered again and again.
Bai Shan felt a little uneasy when he saw this, and his behavior didn't seem like an empty threat. He turned his head and asked General Meng, "Have you picked out their den of thieves?"
Jin Kui'an, who just woke up, missed this part, so he couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly, and turned his head to look at Little General Meng, but in the end he could only see half of Bai Shan's body, and couldn't see the person in front of him at all. .
Seeing him like this, Bai Shan kindly stretched out his hand to grab his neck and pulled him towards him, making him see little general Meng.
Only then did Jin Kuian see the person who was talking to Bai Shan just now, and he said angrily, "Young boy, it turned out to be you!"
Little General Meng snorted coldly at him, "No matter how much you scold me, I will still be defeated."
Jin Kuian sneered, "Who is the defeater? If it weren't for you bullying the few..."
"You started beating us because you bully us more than you do," Nie Canjun interrupted, sneering, "Fifty steps make you laugh at a hundred steps. What qualifications do you have to bring up the topic of how much you win and how little you do?"
Bai Shan also smiled and said, "It's fine if you can win."
He slightly lowered his head and stared at Jin Kui'an's face, and said in deliberation: "Aren't you the biggest horse thieves around here? Once you fall, the caravan who had to attach themselves to you before will probably celebrate with their hands."
Jin Kui'an just sneered and said nothing, with a confident expression on his face.
Erge on the side wanted to speak at first, but thinking of Jin Kuian's humiliation to him along the way, he stopped talking.
Forget it, why would such a person save him
Bai Shan stared closely at his face, and looked at Erge from the corner of his eye, and he was instantly sure that Jin Kuian really had confidence.
He thought for a while, then got up to find Zhiren, "Master, the biggest horse thief around here is the one who set up the checkpoint? Besides them, who else can compete with them, or even surpass them?"
Zhiren thought for a while and said: "The village chief said that they are the most powerful, so they directly occupy their houses and drive them out. Now the whole small town belongs to them."
He said: "Although that small city is not as good as the ancient city of Loulan before, it is not small. Their ability to occupy that small city shows their strength. If there is someone with comparable power nearby, it is impossible to see them monopolize the small city."
When Bai Shan heard it, he became more and more sure, "Is that from outside?"
His heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help asking: "Isn't Tubo still far away from here?"
Zhiren's heart skipped a beat, and he said in a low voice, "It's not too far away, and the Anxi army has limited spare power, so they may not be able to take care of this side..."
Obviously, he also understood what Bai Shan meant.
Bai Shan stood there for a while, then turned around to find Nie Canjun and General Meng, "We can't stay here, we have to rush to Gaochang immediately."
General Meng's personal soldiers brought him a box to lean on, and he leaned back to rest on the box at this time, and yawned when he heard the words: "We must be able to walk, look at our casualties With so many, we can’t leave us remnant soldiers behind, can we?”
"But don't worry, we won't stay any longer. We will leave tomorrow after staying one more day."
Bai Shan glanced at him, then turned to look at Jin Kuian, looked down at him and asked, "You have cooperated with Tubo, will Tubo come to attack Anxi?"
